Can my spouse and children immigrate with me on an EB-3 green card?

EB-3 allows your spouse and your unmarried children under the age of 21 to immigrate with you as derivative beneficiaries. They do not need their own employer or petition; their eligibility flows from your approved case.

Each family member must complete their own application forms, provide required civil documents, pay applicable fees, and undergo medical examinations. Children's eligibility depends on remaining unmarried and under 21, although protections under the Child Status Protection Act can help in some long-wait situations. It is important to keep family members in the process from the start, because adding them later can create complications.
